Female fans normally know more facts about what’s going on than men do anyway. I’d say they’re a more intelligent fan on top of that. They normally know more about what we’ve done than we know about what we’ve done. --- Tony Stewart

There are female fans who take apart engines and will take you apart if you have a problem with that; who are drawn to the danger and mystery of the sport; who watch races on TV to witness pure passion and unscripted emotion; who love the camaraderie of these family-friendly festivals; who feel the nervous anxiety of the lip-biting wives atop the pit boxes. --- Andrew Giangola “The Weekend Starts on Wednesday”

With its return to its traditional Labor Day weekend spot in
2015, Darlington Raceway’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 took a fresh look at NASCAR
history with numerous throwback paint schemes. This year, Darlington is back at
it with a fresh batch of throwback schemes for the race on Sunday, Sept. 4 – you
can check them all out and vote for your favorite through Sept. 1 at NASCAR.com.

One former champion will be represented by two teams, as
Alan Kulwicki’s “Underbird” from his 1992 championship run will be commemorated
on Regan Smith’s No. 7 (Kulwicki’s number) and Greg Biffle’s No. 16 (featuring
Hooter’s, Kulwicki’s sponsor).
